stickley dresser

This is a quartersawn red oak Stickley 913. It took about a year to make. The finish is ammonia fumed, boiled linseed oil, shellac, and wax. The drawer dovetails were all done by hand. Man that took a long time. It weighs about 175 pounds. The hardware is from Horton Brass. The drawers sides are poplar, bottoms oak plywood. Not quite perfect but getting better. It has a secret panel under the bottom drawer behind the apron. Thanks for looking.

Thanks fpr the nice comments. I was looking through some of your projects and I am amazed at the quality work. No hardware on the drawers except the big one. They are all box in a box, but I added bottom center guides for the full width ones to keep from racking. The offsets leave some room for improvement. The biggest drawer has metal slides on the bottom to make it go a little easier. It probably doesn’t need them but I wanted them all to go easy from pushing/pulling on just one side. Will post a side view shot later.
